Taylor Watson

Taylor Watson is an American singer-songwriter and social media star. Her signature pop music is blended with sharp-witted hooks, sticky melodies, and an unapologetic attitude reminiscent of Taylor Swift and Alanis Morrisette. Born into a non-musical family in Denver, Colorado, teenage Taylor began busking on the streets of Boulder before leaving home to hone her songwriting craft in Nashville under the tutelage of six-time GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter, producer, and executive Paul Worley.

During her time in Nashville, Taylor penned many international hits including “Mine” for Australian sensation Jody Direen and the Canadian Christian Radio hit “Lay It Down” for Jordan St. Cyr – the latter being nominated for three Gospel Music Awards.

With over 2 billion views on social media under her belt in 2021, Taylor began working with a number of heavy-hitter producers, including GRAMMY® winners Rami Yacoub (Ariana Grande, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato) and Skylar Mones (Dua Lipa, Kesha, Carlie Hanson). For her lead single, “That Bxtch”, Taylor has cultivated a catchy and conversational take on pop punctuated by sticky choruses and buttoned up with an anthemic tagline. The song thumps along on a bass-y beat and handclaps as she warns, “If I’m in your way, I guess it’s just not your day” before laughing and diving right back into some of her spicier lyrics. The second single promised to drop is “Not My Type,” produced by The 87’s (Iggy Azalea, Steve Aoki). Oozing danceable synths that underscore a fresh perspective on love, “I’m so fucking glad you’re not my type” is a tag Taylor penned to encourage listeners to stop romanticizing their “type” of partner if their “type” isn’t a good one. The unconventional love song is surprisingly self-aware, brutally honest, and endearingly romantic all at once.

With over 10 years of honing her craft as a songwriter and vocalist, Taylor Watson has finally found her sound as an artist and is already proving to be a powerful and dynamic new force in music, continuing to prove that there’s no one quite like her.

Bri Oglu

Bri Oglu is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and cinematic pop artist. Her love for singing and music of almost any genre under the sun shone through from a young age and carries into her work today as she possesses the ability to create versatile songs that showcase the varying textures of her voice and her multiple influences from her youth.

Bri’s childhood was suspended between two musical worlds: her mother’s midwestern roots of country and pop, and her father and adoptive mother’s love of classic rock, 80s music, and jazz. She spent her younger years writing songs and emulating the artists she heard on the radio and around the house: Ann Wilson (Heart), Britney Spears, Shania Twain and Dido to name a few. In high school, she joined chorus, theatre and a local gospel choir. She fell in love with the visceral sounds of Idina Menzel as well as a high school sweetheart who introduced her to metal and alt-rock.

After school, she moved to Los Angeles to initially pursue acting due to the intimidating, robust nature of the music scene. While working at a karaoke bar and gigging around town, she was exposed to jazz and soul music, adding the final ingredient to her diversely influenced sound. Her path led her back to her ultimate passion in music, and she has continued to pursue her career as an artist ever since. When venues shut down during the pandemic, Bri focused on writing and recording her 6-track EP, Somewhere Else. The collection showcases her sultry, but powerful voice and pairs with a cinematic pop production style crafted by artist / producer Will Snyder. Her EP is set to release this fall.

With a few homemade numbers, the group immediately hit the studio and plan on releasing their first studio work throughout 2023.

Leezy

Leezy is a master of contrasts.

At just 21 years old, the Chicago-based singer-songwriter exudes a wisdom far beyond her years. Leezy is unable to remember a time when she wasn’t singing — she recalls a musical childhood, surrounded by theater and the arts. She’s kept a daily journal since she was ten years old, always ready to be in touch with her internal dialogue.

At first, Leezy was resistant to the idea of pursuing music seriously, considering it a refreshing hobby. In a role reversal not experienced by many young creatives, it was actually her mother who encouraged her to consider a professional route, even buying her an electric keyboard. Leezy continued writing and recorded her first song upon arriving in Chicago at age 18.

Following her youth in the Bay Area, Leezy faced (and overcame) a new challenge. Young adulthood proved to be a battlefield of depression and addiction for the artist, and she made the decision to admit herself into treatment. Her time there was healing in more ways than one: not only was Leezy able to receive professional help, she also began to see her music in a new light. From a talent show among other patients to times of introspection during outpatient treatment, Leezy realized that music was, in fact, her calling. Becoming sober at nineteen is a victory in and of itself, and Leezy was ready to dive into the next chapter of her life with enthusiasm.

Now, Leezy has worked to lock in her own sound, never relinquishing the memory of her darker chapters. Managing to incorporate the rock elements of the late 90s and early 2000s into her bright sound, Leezy matches her penchant for the gritty and authentic with her honest stories. She is inspired by the likes of Elliot Smith but speaks to a new generation with her unique life experience, hoping to make listeners feel less alone in their individual journeys, particularly other young people.

Her latest single, “Sierra,” is a hopeful, dramatic ode to the resilience of the human spirit and will be available everywhere on March 11th. With vocals reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, honesty in the style of Billie Eilish, and a full backing band to bring everything to life, “Sierra” is Leezy’s most vulnerable work yet — an impressive feat, considering her existing catalogue.

In her own words, Leezy describes the track as a chronicle of her journey from rock bottom to sobriety, an accomplishment for which she recently acknowledged the two-year mark. “The biggest thing is that the song is about my own personal journey, and that’s where I drew inspiration from — but regardless of if you’ve struggled with addiction, everyone has struggled with something, and everyone can relate to the feeling of wanting to get better.”

She shares that once she got sober, a flurry of emotions came flooding in. The song spilled out of her, almost organically, in a moment she describes as a cathartic process. “Sierra” is a reminder of how far the young artist has come and an exciting window into all the stories she still has to share.

Leezy is continuing to hone her craft and looks forward to the day she and her piano can connect with audiences face to face. She is a singer-songwriter crafting a world of dream-pop — and inviting the listener in to spend time with her there.

After all, she says, there’s nothing better than a Hollywood ending.

Tapping into his small town roots, rough punk style, and replacing live drums with electronic beats, he was able to discover exactly how he wanted to create, write and deliver his fresh take on traditional music. Wild the Coyote is a captivating musician with invigorating rhythm and a dark, poetic lyrical style. I paint a picture like tales from the Wild West told by a very weathered and lonely soul,” he explains. I put a dark twist on my lyrics to take them as far as I can in order to give someone chills”

Crimson Apple

It’s always been a paradox: Los Angeles is called the City of Angels, but it’s ripe with temptation that can steal your soul. From afar, though, its promising allure always beckons to innocent dreamers, artists, and musicians unaware of its sinister vibrations.

The Benson sisters grew up in a paradise in Hawaii surrounded by a loving family and community who nurtured their talents. Their hometown was a Garden of Eden, but just over yonder big-town success gleamed; the shiny juicy apple of LA called out to them.

The Benson sisters write from their experiences and emotions as they pursue their dreams and ambitions. The band’s aesthetic is a vibrant mosaic of the sisters’ influences, including pop, electronic, alternative, K-pop, J-pop, and indie-pop.
